I have a 14.1" standard screen T61p with a UXGA panel, a Sharp LQ141U1LH02,
it has to be modified to work, need to disconnect pin 2 on the LVDS-30
connector on the panel. It is not a very good panel, dim and has a bad case
of most of the problems that are associated with TFT panels. I do like it
though, good pixel density, just wish it was using a better technology.
